Kendall,I'm geting into this thread really late. I was thrilled to scan the messages and find out you're done with radiation.
It seems to me that when I have been really sick, had surgery, etc., that I didn't necessarily feel better everyday, but I could see progress from week to week.
I'm saddened to read about Tony. I ran into ALS a lot when I was hospice chaplain--such a cruel disease. I hope his family and friends are able to stick together as they grieve.
Sending prayers your way,
Beth
